We have been working on a new patch for StarCraft, and it includes a host of new features to streamline and enhance multiplayer competition. You can expect the update to be available for download in the next few weeks, but we wanted to give you a taste of what’s in store for you when the patch does arrive.

-The multiplayer chat screen will now show a preview of the map you will play on.
-The creator of a private Battle.net game can now make the game public under the creator’s name in the multiplayer chat screen.
-A Friends List will be added to the game to keep track of your friends on Battle.net.
-Friend mail will be added to the game to let you email members of your Friends List.
-A password-recovery and email-registration function will be added to allow you to recover your password via email.
-A minimap ping will be added to the game to allow you to ping a location on the map.
It will now be easier to set building rally points.
-We will include updated versions of three of the most popular ladder maps – Lost Temple, Dire Straits, and Rivalry – in order to better suit the newer style of ladder play.
